About
I was born and raised in Maine, where I grew up spending my summers on the waters and my winters in the Mountains. I consider myself a very active adventurous person. Whatever chance I have to travel I take it, I love exploring new cultures and boundaries. Before going off to college I took a year off where I spent my time traveling through the South Pacific stopping in Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia. Over there I did mainly conservation and humanitarian work. After my trip I went directly to Italy and enrolled in the Florence University of Arts where I studies primarily Fashion and Accessory Design classes. I left FUA after the semester and ever since I've been at Savannah College of Art and Design focusing on Industrial Design and Accessory Design. I currently live in Portland ME and work for L.L.Bean as a designer
